It’s beginning to look at a lot like…. well, Christmas in Panama maybe. I certainly had Gatun Lake going on in my backyard yesterday. That’s probably just as well, since white Christmases are now racist. Blogging will be light around the holidays, unless there is major news like another shoe dropping like we just saw in Virginia with their AG revoking most of their reciprocity agreements. It begs the question, if these politicians are so sure this is a winning issue, why do they keep trying to downplay these maneuvers by announcing them before the holidays when no one is paying attention. Anyways, here’s the news as I see it:

NRA has said it plans to “fight [Herring’s] decision in every arena possible.” I’ve heard talk of a universal reciprocity bill being pushed after the new year. Some dems in marginal districts will need to be made uncomfortable if they don’t vote the right way. When the time comes, be prepared to melt switchboards.

Jacob: Why did Obama sit down with Bloomberg? Cash is king. Dem fundraising is pretty anemic this cycle, but Bloomberg is willing to spend big. That’s a big part of why you’re seeing Dems run away from the Second Amendment right now.

You may have already addressed this somewhere and this may not be the place to discuss it, but I saw this article on Grover Norquist running for the NRA Board of Directors. Well known for his anti-tax status but less known for his Islamic associations, I was wondering if any of you had an opinion on whether he is a good candidate for the Board.
Thank you!

Here’s the link with excerpts:
“These few facts alone should be enough to give people pause:

It’s a fact that Grover Norquist cofounded a group called the Islamic Institute that was funded by a convicted terror funder. Norquist used his power to help bring his Islamic Institute associates into the Republican Party inner circle. Full stop. That happened.

If a prominent Democrat had these clear, direct connections and had used their influence to bring them into the seat of American power, any even moderately rational, patriotic American might have a few questions about it. It’s worth nothing that when legitimate questions were raised about longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin, Grover Norquist defended Ms. Abedin and attacked Michele Bachmann.”

Thank you, sir. I use the same rule when I vote for the myriad of local and county offices that come up on Election Day. There are sometimes too many offices and candidates to be properly informed. I leave a lot of ovals empty.

Merry Christmas! W/r/t the Smith & Wesson lawyers, the first thing I noticed when reading over their letter was the incorrect dates: sent in December 2015 but, “Respond by 1/5/15”? How much do they get paid? Come on people, you could hire a second grader to proofread the letter and catch that one!
